Selfsufficiency in grain crops and oil crops has been estimated at 68.7% and 45%, respectively. The study concluded that production of major crops such as wheat and broad beans can be increased by expanding the areas in which the two crops are cultivated under intercropping pattern. In addition, production of vegetable crops can be increased by cultivating them under intercropping, which helps save thus allocate the areas in which they used to be cultivated as single crops for cultivating major crops in which Egypt faces production shortages. It is worth mentioning that production of wheat, broad beans, garlic, winter onions, and summer onions cultivated under intercropping amounted to 157.44, 9, 62, and 467.2 thousand tons, respectively. The amount of increase in both winter and summer vegetable crops reached 61.708 thousand tons. . | | Keywords : | | - agricultural intercropping,agricultural intercropping
